In a nutshell I would describe myself as an: introvert, free thinker, realist, empath, nature lover.

I initially became vegetarian in 2014 and have been mostly vegan for the past 3 years. My main reason for becoming vegan was due to learning about the horrors of animal cruelty/factory farming. I do my best to live a cruelty free and health conscious lifestyle.

For employment I'm a nurse with medical-surgical and critical care experience. Some parts of the medical field can be daunting/frustrating as a vegan but despite these issues, I do find that my job can be rewarding.

For years I've struggled with thinking in a closed off mindset that was painted by society; trying to be someone that others wanted me to be and surrounding myself with superficial people. I've come to realize that we have a limited amount of time on this earth and none of that shit matters. I've been living my life in a way that I find meaningful by surrounding myself with people/animals that I love, helping others and striving to reach my full potential.

Bella is a 33 year old, Buddhistfemale.
Living in New York, New-York Vegan diet.

Educated free spirit, sanitary and compassionate.

lipzipper is a 47 year old, Agnostic / not religious male.
Living in New York, New-York Vegan diet.

I've been a vegetarian since 1991 and vegan since 2010 for both ethical and environmental reasons. I hope it's also healthy - but it's not the primary reason - just a bonus.

I believe that communication is the key to relationships of all kinds, even if something is difficult to talk about because of emotions. Unresolved issues fester and kill.

I'm open to new experiences and compromise easily. If there is something you love doing and I have never done, I'll try it at least once.

I watch a wide variety of things - from subtitled anime to romantic comedies - as long as they have stories that resonate. I also read a lot of fiction, primarily sci-fi and fantasy.

I'm bilingual, born in Russia to a Jewish family, but don't practice much either being Russian or Jewish.

My children is the most important thing in my life and I spend as much time as I can with them.

So many things comprise a person, I have listed just a few that came to mind. I don't know if they are 'key' things or not.

jamshedjumshed is a 45 year old, spiritual male.
Living in New York, New-York Vegan diet.

Hi, i am typing out this profile to make my life more beautiful and someone else's too. I am friendly and i like meeting people. I am actually 50 not 45, my profile photo was taken June 2018 :) if you are not interested then please don't read on, and sorry for extra click ;) If you are interested in me I am easy to find and connect with using social mdedia :)

My heritage is mixed, half east india and half english, i grew up with my english family-i look indian but speak with an english accent. I have time in england and usa each year. I grew up doing traditional english things like eating lambs, but stopped as soon as I knew that 'meat' was parts of animals when I was when i was about 5 or 6 years old. I enjoy simple little things in life very much and I have time for little things even if i am in a rush.Helping people gives me pleasure and I enjoy being helped too at times.Dancing i play with and i am excited about opening up my singing voice much more.

I enjoy working hard but i like to be soft during this.one of my favorite things to do is be in water, in the ocean, a lake,river or creak. I have had the pleasure of living in situations where I could do that daily, I really wish this again in my life and sharing this is really fun too.as a teenager I made it my intention to live a life in which i did not look forward to getting drunk on the weekend, I never want to wish any of my working days to hurry up and finish-that would be wishing part of my life away and i realised that long ago too. i think I have been very successful up to now in avoiding such ways by enjoying doing different types of work which i get paid and different types of work i don't get paid for-i don't have chores as i enjoy cleaning and getting food and other life activities, i enjoy a lot of things i do, seeing them as valuable in themselves as experiences. i have loved working with kids and wish to do this a lot more.I love mending, making and repurposing things and practices of living simply. in many ways i live simply, this primarily being so others can simply live, and because of this i think i have a beautiful life in many ways. I have done some talks and a few articles on this subject. I am the administrator to a faecbook group called 'We Share The Earth', please do have a look and share with me your thought on this. I share the importance of us living simply when we consider the harm we cause to wild animals as we consume more than we need, I also like to share in the beauty of living simply.

I really like riding my bike and love eating and sharing fruit-especially eating out in fruits trees - when i am supported and being fed by a living being!

Andrew is a 55 year old, Jewish male.
Living in New York, New-York Vegan diet.

I'm one of the lucky one's. I knew of my career from the age of 6 and am fortunate to have it come to fruition. I own my own veterinary hospital, run a non-profit and a day doesn't pass that I'm not grateful for knowing my "purpose" in life. It's important to me to be honest with myself and others, live consciously with passion, and accomplish meaningful things with the gift of life. That's my serious side. I'm also lighthearted, playful, enjoy nature and animals, like adventure, love my family and friends, exercise regularly and want to travel more.

In relationships, I feel that compatibility between people depends on seeing the world in a similar way (veganism being a major key), that friendship depends on enjoyment of each others company and desire to be mutually supportive, that romance/love depends (among other things) on intangible chemistry and being able to stay in the moment with playfulness and laughter, and that longevity depends on mutual admiration. That said, I'm a hopeless romantic.

My past: I was engaged once and had one other meaningful long term relationship that I thought would have ended in marriage. It didn't....

Some things about myself........I'm sarcastic, compassionate, empathetic and can have a silly sense of humor. I'm an avid triathlete, love hiking, swimming (especially with my dogs), running, cycling, skiing, movies, massage (giving and receiving), theatre, romantic settings and am willing/interested in learning ballroom dancing. I'm very health conscious, don't smoke or touch drugs, and much, much more. My box is unlocked if you choose to look inside; just ask.

Randall is a 58 year old, Agnostic / not religious male.
Living in Albany, New-York Vegan diet.

I would say that I am pretty balanced and well rounded - I'm an academic (biology and anthropology) who can repair or build all kinds of things. I'm also an artist and traveler. I'm generally clean and organized but not OCD. I'm cultured but not a snob. I generally think outside the mainstream - good thing I don't mind being out of step with the crowd. I'm a lifelong vegetarian and have eaten a mostly plant-based diet for almost 40 years but don't call myself a vegan. I can enjoy a shot of wheatgrass juice or a single-malt scotch. My politics are pretty left - think Noam Chomsky. I am anti-war and don't want to be around racists, bible-thumpers, liars or other kinds of hateful thinking. I want to leave the world a better place as best I can.

I enjoy lots of different kinds of music but can't make any of my own (well I can drum I guess...). I love to get out in nature and hike and photograph. My latest adventures were the solar eclipse last Aug. 21st and a safari to Kenya this spring - I'd be happy to find someone to join me for the next one! In the future I dream of a net-zero energy home on a lake somewhere.

Miranda is a 27 year old, Jewishfemale.
Living in Copiague, New-York Vegan diet.

I am a 27-year-old single vegan. I went vegan a little over 3 and a half years ago for both the animals and health reasons. In my spare time, I enjoy volunteering, reading, watching movies, going for walks, and trying new restaurants. My music taste is varied; I like oldies, punk rock, alternative, some metal, and occasionally pop.

Andrew is a 55 year old, Catholic male.
Living in Long Island, New-York Veggie/vegan diet.

I have been vegetarian since 1996 for ethical reasons. I strongly support animal rights and I am in contact with many organizations involved in protecting animals. I know I have more to learn about helping reduce the cruelty to all creatures and I am hoping to connect with others who can help me progress. I have never been married and believe that in any relationship anything involving both people should be mutually agreed upon. Some of my hobbies include; listening to a wide variety of music, and watching sports (especially football, hockey, and baseball).

Edward is a 26 year old, male.
Living in Brooklyn, New-York Raw food diet.

Hi to everyone! My name is Edward, i'm 26 y.o. I was born in Ukraine and half of my life lived in Israel :) I'm in USA from september 2018. I'm fruitarian 16 months ;)

I have a lot more to say than what is written here & even more to offer the right woman! I am a unique guy that is kind, ambitious, funny, very romantic, intelligent, communicative, deep, thoughtful, health conscious, has never been married, has no kids, is 41 [can I still say I am in my late 30's?] & is a non-smoker.
I am just a real down to earth guy who is not into "dating" games, etc. I am commitment minded, so I am not into 1-night stands etc. I am looking for something leading to a lifetime stand!!!!
I love to learn, do, explore and I'm open minded. I'm artistic, musical, down to earth, insightful & a supporter of animal rights etc.
I enjoy many aspects encompassing many levels of nature, one of which is solitude so I am not looking to be Siamese twins! I am respectful of a woman's space, privacy & of course prior male relationships. I do like to spend time with someone that I date. I believe an encompassing holistic balance can be achieved.

Seth is a 64 year old, spiritual male.
Living in New York, New-York Vegetarian diet.

I am an author, an anti-establishment psychologist with PhD, an iconoclast with countercultural or outsider sensibility.My last book (2012) was on spirituality and madness.... I grew up in a secular Jewish home. I was an intellectual rebel by the time I was 12.

. I was reading the beats like Allen Ginsberg, Kenneth Patchen,Kerouac,Feerlinghetti at 12 and I became a anti-war protester in high school, and a “Marxist” by the time I arrived at college at UW-Madison. I became interested in metaphysicalmand spiritual perspective in my early 20s. A book by Abraham Heschel made me realize I was a theist after all. In my mid-20s I discovered Eastern philosophy and religion. The most powerful spiritual-intellectual influence on my world view for the last few decades has been the writings of Sri Aurobindo.My philosophic perspective lies between Western Romanticism and Indian mysticism (And add influence of Jung.)

My Quest

I'm still keeping the faith

Still tending the dream...

Lost

Weary and weathered

But still sailing, searching for you across endless seasamidst murmurs of the final storm.Still haunted by the vision of youWaiting for me on the cool sunlit shore at dawnLooking for me,staring at the horizon, clear-eyedBeckoning me home,Forever.Eternal bride, goddess of the dawn.

I am an intellectual,but it does not matter to me how well read you are, as long as you are intellectually curious, unconventional or receptive to unconventional ideas, and expressive.

I am left-wing--by which I do not mean I am a liberal Democrat--I do not place any faith in the Democratic Party, or any other corrupted institutions,

I am aware of the precariousness of the human situation. As Henry Miller said in 1957, "One can live joyously--one must!--in the midst of a world peopled with sorrowing suffering creatures[and, one might add, menaced by thethreat of environmental or nuclear apocalypse]. What other world is there is which to enjoy life? But I know this, that I will no longer perform for the sake of performing, nor act for the sake of being active...Nor will I acknowledge as necessary or inevitable what now goes on in the name of law and order, peace and prosperity, freedom and security. Sell it to the Hottentots! "

Those of us who are living now will be the ones who determine the future. It is our task as stewards of the earth to try to save the earth. "We have met the Messiah and He is us," author Buddhist- Jungian Paul Levy wrote.

In the Vedas the Rishis exclaim "We have crossed through to the other shore of this darkness! The dawn is breaking forth..."

Classic Rocker is a 54 year old, Atheist male.
Living in South Setauket, New-York Veggie/vegan diet.

Good times are even better when shared with a great partner. Some of my favorite things do are spending time outdoors, going to the beach (especially in the morning or evening), checking out the night sky, taking walks, hiking, running, working out, practicing martial arts, reading, learning new things, and listening to music. I try to maintain a healthy diet most of the time and enjoy cooking and going out to dinner. I love exploring the Island's beaches, parks, and seaside towns and villages, and I definitely prefer the warmer weather to the cold. I'm very happy to go out for the evening as well as to stay in and have a nice night at home.

Favorites:

Music - Mostly classic rock but appreciate many styles of music since I used to play the pianoFood - Mexican/Latin, Thai, Italian, Greek, Middle Eastern, vegetarian/veganMovies - Animal House, Stripes, Caddyshack, Roadhouse

Dylan is a 35 year old, male.
Living in New York, New-York Veggie/vegan diet.

I've lived in NYC all my life, I can't imagine living anywhere else really, it has pretty much everything I want out of a city. NYC also caters well to my artistic side. I'm a musician, and have been studying music/guitar for the past decade and I live for it. I play mostly progressive rock music, but some jazz as well. Currently I perform solo acoustic material, guitar and vocals.
When I'm not doing anything musical, I like crusing through the streets in my rollerblades, reading or writing some poetry, or watching the Daily Show/Colbert report (seemingly the two saving graces of cable television). IFC/Sundance are also very cool, they always seem to consistently have something interesting.

I like to be active (dancing, walking, hiking, stretching, cycling, swimming -- that's what I do on a regular basis, but wouldn't mind to pick up a few other activities :).

I am currently on a journey to minimalism. I have been vegan for about 7 years (a bit over two years high-carb).

I don't take myself too seriously and look for the same in others. I have a quirky sense of humor and can enjoy myself no matter what it is that I am doing. I am seldom without a book in my bag, love trivia, learning new words and working them into conversation. I also love music, going to concerts, and movies, although I rarely watch television.

I have tattoos and piercings, and yes, I am planning the next ones. My job is awesome and I travel a lot for work; this makes meeting new friends challenging.

Sarah is a 40 year old, spiritualfemale.
Living in Niskayuna, New-York Vegan diet.

Hello all! I have a new found clarity in life and have learned to enjoy the little things! My 2 year vegan-anniversary is coming up this fall! Active in the animal and human rights communities and enjoy induldging my inner child with hiking, dancing and just being present in the moment! Meeting new people and discovering new ideas is one of my passions!

I love all animals, but admit to being alittle obsessed with cats and cows! A beautiful rescue cow helped turn me from vegetarian to vegan with a kiss on the cheek (a very sandpapery kiss). I often volunteer at animal sanctuaries (so lucky to have several in NY) which is the best therapy with fresh air, physical labor and time with beautiful beings!

I have also recently discovered meditation which helps me stay in the present moment and be grateful for things that I used to take for granted!

Also recently got back into reading and love a good book that can make me laugh out loud. I get really excited whenever I am invited to a board game night with friends...Heads up is one of my favorite games!

I currently have a career helping children communicate and have always felt a strong connection to kids as they are honest and empathic and help adults to remember to "play" too!

Love being in nature (hiking, bike riding) and have recently rediscovered my passion for rain as I got stuck in a rain shower during a hike...felt like a kid again!

I am a photographer and I am into making my own movies, I love the art of photography, acting and writting. Art I know is wonderful way to spread knowledge, To have freedom, you need to know the truth!

Matt is a 64 year old, Atheist male.
Living in Brooklyn, New-York Vegan diet.

I’ve been a runner for 50 years who can still can coax a 22 minute 5K from these aging legs, a vegan for 22, and a music fiend since infancy. I love offbeat humor and films (e.g., Fargo, Clerks, Welcome to the Dollhouse, Sideways, Once). My politics are progressive --- if you’re fond of the GOP, you probably won’t appreciate my commentary on that subject. Environmental and social justice are as important to me as fitness. I like to think that I'm generous and caring, even sentimental. Hopefully, there's enough here to pique your interest and, if not, I wish you the best in your quest.

sydshell is a 46 year old, spiritual male.

Jibiki is a 62 year old, spiritual male.
Living in Pelham, New-York Vegan diet.

Easy going, playful, aware, and compassionate. Vegan for 14 years. Vegetarian 25 years prior. I don’t look, act, or feel my age, so let’s get that out of the way right up front! Huge proponent of holistic living, diet, alternative medicne, and exercise. I love a good conspiracy theory!, but sadly that’s NOT the case with animal agriculture, the attrocities of factory farming, and the devastating ripple effect on one's health and the planet/ecosystem.

I own a unique pet sitting/grooming business and love what I do. (My greatest wish is for every sentient creature to live in peace:).

To meet a like-minded lady, develop a close bond, and explore all possibilities.

SweetPea is a 34 year old, Agnostic / not religiousfemale.
Living in Brooklyn, New-York Veggie/vegan diet.

My greatest passion is building and making things. Art for a purpose, in any shape or form. I especially love furniture, but I appreciate art in all form.

I enjoy collaborations of all kinds. I love cooking, riding my bicycle and scooter, yoga, whistling, traveling, trying new things, going out or staying in to watch a great movie; simple pleasures. Looking for a partner in crime for a cross-counrty road trip. First thing I do in any new city is look for an art museum or an aquarium. Love getting together for potluck dinners to share recipes and stories with new and old friends. love all kinds of animals. I've even made friends with a tarantula and a few snakes, but I seem to have a special connection with dogs (if you saw it, you'd believe me).

I laugh a lot and ask a lot of questions. I'm very curious and have an eye for details. Very low tolerance for bullshit.

I'm a very affectionate and caring person. Honesty and open communication are very important to me. I am who I am, and I have NO "game". Although I do love playing games- especially pool. I'm competitive, but I just play for fun. You will probably beat me.

veganed is a 59 year old, Agnostic / not religious male.
Living in New York, New-York Vegan diet.

Easygoing, like to laugh and have fun, don't sweat the small stuff. I am a vegan because I think it is wrong to cause suffering if it can be avoided, the health benefits are a bonus. Eat organic and take care of myself. Exercise when I can but not as often as I would like. Learned that in a relationship it doesn't have to be important to me for it to be important. If it is important to my partner I make it important to me. I know this should be evident and I should not have had to learn it but I am a man.

Enjoy entertaining at home, I am a good cook and a better sommelier, or going out. Like wine, have too many bottles. Not a drunk but there is still time to fix that :-) Like almost all types of music, love going to the opera and theater. My favorite authors are Hemingway, John Irving and Gabriel García Márquez. I have been lucky to travel to London, Paris, Barcelona, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Amsterdam as well as a much of the US. Not done yet, so much more to see.

Have two terrific grown daughters. We are very close. Of all the things I have done they are definitely the best.

Don't really have a type so I cannot tell you what I am looking for, only I will know it when I see it. Also, I have two tattoos, one from when I was in high school because I was dumb and one of the Marine Corps emblem because well I am a Marine.

Good luck in your search.

My greatest pleasures include (not in order of importance); a glass of wine on my roof at sunset, escaping to Aruba for a few days mid winter, walking forever in Central Park, seeing the remarkable people my children have become, the view out my window, and feeling at the end of the day that I somehow made a difference.

Greg is a 66 year old, Taoist male.
Living in White plains, New-York Veggie/vegan diet.

I am a decent, kind person. I always do my best to treat people with respect. I’m a loyal friend — I’ve known my three best friends most of my life.

They would describe me as easy-going, as someone with a sense of humor who loves to laugh, an intelligent person with confidence.

I try to be health conscious and like to exercise regularly to stay fit. I try to be upbeat and have a positive outlook on life, as best I can, and strive to learn about myself to become the best person I can be. I'm a very spiritual person and have a daily practice of meditation, chigong and Tai Chi.

I especially enjoy the arts— film, theater, music, dancing, comedy clubs, etc. It doesn’t matter so much what I do — so long as I’m with someone whose company I enjoy I’m happy doing pretty much anything.

I LOVE music. Pretty much everything from classical to jazz, blues, standards, rock, oldies, contemporary and some Rap and Hip Hop. There's nothing like a good tune.

I am working on a second career as a writer, actor and film-maker, but I still have my "day job" from my previous career (I train graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to do research in the field of public health).

I have a positive outlook in life and I'm always joking around , this rejuvinates me and gives me energy all day long. My friends say I have a cheerful disposition; I like to term it as UNSTOPPABLE HAPPINESS.

My interest include , everything to do with Classic Rock music , meditation, enjoying nature, watching science documentaries and travel by car. Actually, there isn't much I won't try.

I promise you that within minutes of our 1st meeting you'll see the real me, yes I am that honest of a person in real life (I'm transparent). I have a wonderful life, my spiritually and my service to humanity are important to me but I am a man first and looking for a lasting adult connection on this website.

My life, career and health have all cleared up so that I can focus on that boy - girl stuff and this website is a great way to meet like minded adults in regards to spirituality and my vegan lifestyle, it's like half of the partner compatibility traits are built into the format of the website for me.

facts about me:

I am a vegetarian, non-drinker, who knows how to have FUN, FUN, FUN; I'm among the first on the dance floor. Although I have'nt been clubbing for years, but you get the point, I'm not boring.

I come from a clean decent family background and I have relatives in every corner of the globe. All are well respected members of their local societies.

This year I cut-off a few people with whom I had long platonic relationships because they finally showed me their true colors. I think my carefree fun loving behavior gives some people the idea that I'm a push over or that I'm stupid. I don't waste my time arguing with them, if people don't treat me correctly, what's the point of arguing. My self worth is not in their hands. A person either has class or they don't. I know there are people out there , like myself, who are already aware on how to give and take respect. I hang with the winners .. and pray for those who still haven't figured out that EVERY human deserves total respect.

George Bernard Shaw famously once said, “I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.”

Look , the only reason I'm opening so much in this profile is to show you I'm for real, start building on honesty and so you give me a date. Besides I figured that since I"m serious about dating then I must put my best effort into it and try to give you a glimpse of how I think, even at the risk of embarrassing myself or coming across flaky by opening up.

Lovingly & respectfully,

Kumar

As I have no clue how to squeeze a description of my whole being into one little box, I'll just list things about myself as they come. The things that are important in my life include: animals, family, friends, fairness, the environment, design, empathy, dark chocolate, and apparently Autosave. I love making things, anything from drawings to recipes to furniture to clothing. I practice yoga a few times a week. I have two cats; am a firm believer that pets make a house a home. I am passionate about my career and domestic life equally. I enjoy exploring new places, ideas, and activities - to me, company makes most of the difference in the quality of an experience.

A little about me:

I love music and love going to concerts and music festivals. I love the water and love to boat on motor-less boating lakes. I love the ocean as well, but enjoy the beach later in the day when the sun is not too strong. I also love the ocean in the winter as I love watching and listening to the rough water and then warming up by a fire. I am an animal lover and have 1 cat. She is adorable! I love visiting farm sanctuaries to get close to farm animals. I love cows, sheep, rabbits, etc.

I am Vegan and have been since I was a teenager. I am not militant, but this is my way of life and will always need to have a kitchen and home that is animal cruelty free(Vegan). Why am I Vegan? The following quote explains how I feel.. "To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being. The more helpless the creature, the more that it is entitled to protection by man from the cruelty of man" -Mahatma Gandhi

I am looking to meet a man who is genuine, kind, affectionate and gets all that I have written above. I am not interested in looks as much as I am interested in your heart and mind, but there has to be an attraction.

Take a chance with me :)

Lynne is a 51 year old, spiritualfemale.
Living in Oneonta, New-York Vegan diet.

Hello, Am new to the dating scene. Living in a small city in upstate NY, am finding it challenging to find singles who share my ethical values. Love all types of music especially bluegrass. Enjoy movies of all genres. Enjoy hiking, kayaking, and spending time in nature. Am a professional woman who owns my own home and car. Have 1 cat, one dog and my daughter, 23, is still at home but will be moving on with her life next year. Also have a son and a lovely daughter-in-law with a son and a little one on the way!

Am active and am looking for someone to have fun with and possibly be more long term. No expectations. Life is too short! Nameste

Living in New York City, New-York Vegan diet.

Hmm... me, in a coconut-shell? I like laughing, walking around the city, music, Nature, film, ceremony, astrology, numerology, meditation and energy work, among other things. I get out of bed analysing my dreams. Btw, "living off the land" made me smile :) I don't actually have a farm or anything--I'm a city girl. There is a seriously sensual side of me. Eating is one of my favourite things to do! (Coconut and avocadoes are my favorites!) I have a weakness for spicy ethnic food, and I love raw food as well. I sing. I thoroughly enjoy getting dolled up for no reason at all. Or for a reason. The more reasons, the better.

Veganlicious is a 47 year old, Atheist male.
Living in New York, New-York Vegan diet.

NYC based photographer that travels for a living. I think a good first date is to go grab some drinks and see if there is any chemistry. You know it's a bad date when you look at your watch less than 5 minutes in and you wished you asked your friend for an "emergency phone call" to explain why you have to leave so suddenly. The opposite can also be true when all you want to do is tear the other person's clothes off with your teeth. Of course there are shades of grey in-between, but that's what makes everybody so unique.

earthkin is a 39 year old, Pantheist bi-female.
Living in Brooklyn, New-York Vegan diet.

I'm sitting here at the computer, just another ad, like so many things we see on the internet. I am actually a person, though. A person striving for self-sustainability and improvement, while every day is different. I have a lot of building ahead of me. Playing music is essential to my spiritual survival. I need to reinforce that when I have a difficult mission like, oh, saving the world. I consider myself a very critical thinker, so I'm continually looking for the best ways to create tangible change for the better. I am a hyper-conscious minimal consumer. I have learned a lot from those who are more ethical than me. It's good to have a personal ideal to strive for.

I also find it really necessary to be physically active, in work and in life. The human body is not designed to be sitting and staring at a screen for eight hours a day! So I have developed a real penchant for both cycling and physical labor. This is basically a complete 180 from what I was doing as a kid. I'm also learning to fix more things - like basic electrical skills, and use of all kinds of tools. That's why I work as an electrician apprentice, in construction.

Among my other goals, I'm also trying to be a much healthier vegan than I was ten years ago. Lots of fresh veggies and fruits, including green smoothies, and way less prepared and overcooked food. I cut out bread and pasta to make room for this! I'm a little fanatical at times. :)

I play drums and baritone sax, and write songs with my accordion. I need to use music as a source of social change, so I'm developing beautiful songs about topics like consumerism, social isolation, unrealized missions, and the commodification of life. Always striving to improve - myself and the world.

Damon is a 41 year old, male.
Living in Brooklyn, New-York Veggie/vegan diet.

I'm a fun and solid man, pursuing creativity and positivity. For my career, I'm a research scientist and technology inventor. I like chillin' at galleries or parks, catching good theater, cooking up food or finding that perfect restaurant, or getting into sports and exercise, or building a little art project. My personality is warm and positive. Often I find myself and others laughing at jokes. I have a successful and interesting career life, which doesn't take up too much time, and am hoping that you are similarly inclined.

Reni is a 62 year old, spiritual male.
Living in New York, New-York Raw food diet.

Never thought I’d try this but I use a computer for almost everything else, so why not? I know few joys greater than when I hear and see something that speaks in a genuine voice. I’m looking for someone who’s not afraid to speak with her own voice instead of trying to fit an MTV or Cosmo profile. If your primary idea of a meaningful existence is fine dining or escapism, then we might not be a good fit. I have interests in music (Nick Drake, some World Music, Cuban ballads, Elvis Costello, found sounds, etc.), psychology, spirituality, sports, and nature. I also dabble in photography and graphics. Though I’m comfortable on my own, I’d rather be with people. I love to laugh and am playful both physically and intellectually. I like yoga (I've been doing Bikram lately), meditation, walks, playing guitar, and dancing. I can be reflective and enjoy watching people as well as sunsets. I’m affectionate and loyal yet forgiving when someone steps on my toes. Adventurous and curious but not a thrill junkie either.

VeganLightworker is a 58 year old, spiritualfemale.
Living in Albany, New-York Vegan diet.

I am people smart, heart centered and passionate about taking care of the planet and all its inhabitants. Raised an atheist, I have found my personal spiritual path and connections with the universe. I practice Reiki, am pursuing psychic development, believe that plants are natural healers and that everyone deserves a home, food, love and understanding.

I have been vegetarian for 41 years, and vegan for 37. Living an "ahimsa" life of non-violence is the most important thing to me. I try to treat everyone and everything gently and with respect. My guiding principle is "to seek first to understand, and then to be understood."

I have made my living through the written and spoken word since I was fresh out of college, first as a newspaper reporter, and later as a magazine editor, outreach coordinator and public speaker for a national organization. For the past two decades, I have served as a public relations practitioner and manager in upstate New York.

I was raised by hippie/beatnik parents and am a "flower child" at heart, although I do a pretty good job masquerading as a respectable and successful working professional. I am fun, engaged in the world, kind, caring, driven, multi-talented - and despite all I just said, truly humble.

Eric is a 41 year old, Agnostic / not religious male.
Living in Brooklyn, New-York Vegan diet.

Brilliant! Ha. Let's narrow our prospects to 2.5% of the population! Haha. Wouldn't have it any other way. Vegetarian since 1999 turned vegan 4 years ago. Happy vegan I am, eating my not green eggs and not ham. My legs have a long stride and like strolling (and hiking). Wouldn't mind a stroller matching my stride, xchanging smiling glances. I'm waiting for my St. Francis moment in the park and have animals around me knowing I'm a herbivore, like the curious two kid goats on a ranch in Vermont seemed to. But that was Vermont and I'm in NYC. About the time I became vegetarian, I found theater. It is my second home. Am also interested in the use of Industrial Hemp in architectural design.

Vegancakemama is a 49 year old, Christian / Protestantfemale.
Living in Brooklyn, New-York Vegan diet.

I’m a vegan mama to three kids, looking for casual, possibly more, depending. I teach nursery school and love it, bake in my spare time. I’ve been vegan for 15yrs, veg for 6yrs before that. Kindness and compassion are extremely important characteristics to me. I love to dance, walk all around NYC, and go to museums when I have some time.

Mark is a 51 year old, Agnostic / not religious male.
Living in Rochester, New-York Vegan diet.

I consider myself an intelligent, creative, and quirky individual. I have a passion for things both technical and artistic. I can be equally amused coding or painting, studying physics or creating a photograph. I'm a bit of a geek, and while I still can lose myself in a project, I'm very much interested in being a part of life rather than being apart from it. I enjoy cocooning myself away at times, but personal connections are important to me. I'm finding myself leaning much more towards the arts and away from the hard sciences as time goes on. I used to work as a web application programmer, but it’s no longer my passion. I’d rather have a camera in my hand or be writing. I like to have my world view “stretched” regularly. I understand that if I don’t like something, I can only say that it is true for this moment only; I may find myself changing my tune down the road. I used to despise Picasso’s work, but now I find it engaging. Who knows what tomorrow will bring?

Vijay is a 40 year old, spiritual male.
Living in New York, New-York Vegetarian diet.

Like many it took me a while to get into a secure stage in life, despite the time the state of mind was worth it. Making now a great time for a partner for the long term. Ideally, someone in a similar stage with goals and aspirations that match my own.

I feel easiest way to let "time fly" is not to make memories. Seeking emotionally satisfying life experiences is important to me.

Lastly (given the context of the website) I have been a vegetarian all my life and having that value/lifestyle seems important now.

Living in New York, New-York Vegetarian diet.

I am a black 1st generation American (Cuban/Jamaican), articulate, artistic, eccentric, with left-of-center sensibilities and expansive world-view. I'm sensitive, athletic, intelligent and gentle being who likes yoga, massage, meditation, modern art/dance, philosophy, literature, foreign films, world music, holistic medicine and the belief systems of Native American and other cultures.

MxDimensional is a 52 year old, spiritual male.
Living in Floral Park, New-York Vegetarian diet.

love engaging conversation on myriads of subjects, I see the world from a broad, multi-cultural and cosmic perspective. I am multidimensional, spiritual, fun, fit, love to laugh and open-minded. I am honest, good communicator, compassionate, faithful and loyal. I function very well independently, but I would love to have a special partner with whom to share all my perceptions and insights. I am not looking for a partner who is necessarily similar to me; Someone who I feel respects my views and understands me in my complexity and multifacetedness. I feel humility is important, treating all life and each moment with respect and a fresh approach.To me, sex is the culmination of two souls who know each other deeply, who trust each other, and who have made each other a priority in their lives, and thus choose to express their love through the most profound, exhilarating and sacred energy exchange two people can have.

I enjoy body building and fitness. I go hard at the gym so everyone can see what you can accomplish as a vegan. Its how you become a role model for others.

I love everything outdoors including camping, hiking, and sight seeing. I love to travel as well. You only live once so see everything you can.

If you enjoy a guy that can cook amazing vegan dishes then be ready to be impressed. Ya, i know what im doing in the kitchen. Sorry if that made you really curious and hungry at the same time.

About everything i do in life is to be a better person for myself and others around me. Tho i can't seem to figure out how to be perfect yet. Well whatever, im going to keep on trying.

Living in Wading River , New-York Vegan diet.

I am a fun, genuine, thoughtful, fiercely loyal, and ambitious guy who is truly searching for my match. I am a teacher at the elementary level and I thank my lucky stars everyday for the opportunity to work with kids in a capacity that I love. I embrace an overall healthy and active lifestyle and I am passionate about fitness. I do however, also enjoy breaking away a bit from time to time to enjoy in life's simple pleasures. I am truly open to doing just about anything as long as it's with the right company. With that said, if you get excited about getting a lift ticket when the snow falls or grabbing your sneakers for a run down by the beach to start your weekend, then we really might be onto something!

Living in Pulaski, New-York Vegan diet.

My name is Myranda and I have been vegetarian about 4 years and vegan for almost 2 years. I went vegan for the animals and would love to meet someone who also went vegan for the animals. However, I am trying to focus on the health benefits of vegan diet and lifestyle now. I'm not really looking for anything serious right now but trying to meet like minded people and see what happens. I'm not perfect in any way, I'm always trying to learn and improve myself. Im very open minded, but I am interested in talking to vegans only.

BeTheLight is a 65 year old, spiritualfemale.
Living in Brooklyn, New-York Vegan diet.

I have been a vegetarian/vegan for most of my adult life for ethical reasons. Health maintenance is important to me. I do this through the regular practice of yoga, among other things. I have travelled extensively all over the world. Nature nerd would describe me well. I love to explore new places and try new things. I appreciate wildlife of all kinds and am an avid bird watcher. I also enjoy the theater and other performing arts. I am playful and can be spontaneous. Sincere and direct.

I have 2 married, adult children living in Brooklyn and 2 young grandchildren.

My politics are liberal and I find the current President repungnant.

Seeking companionship and perhaps a bit of romance.

Mike is a 66 year old, male.
Living in Binghamton, New-York Vegan diet.

Energetic, unpretentious, curious, analytical, compassionate (life-threatening bacteria and viruses excepted), advocate for wildlife, animal rights, and the environment. Founder and director of an environmental-educational nonprofit since 1998 that has encompassed a variety of activities: public speaking, writing, photography, videography. Also authored a book related to this work. Seeking the woman who shares my passion for improving the planet and society. Interested in joining forces to operate either a “green” business or a cause-inspired nonprofit (not necessarily my current one). Open to whatever works for us both.

Initially characterized myself in this profile as “spiritual.” But that term has come to be more laden with New Age denotations and connotations than I’m comfortable with. Perhaps a better characterization of my philosophical outlook is that of “experiential.” Through experiences I not only gain knowledge about the world, but also about my reactions to these experiences. As examples, I’ll note that in recent years I’ve walked the Camino Frances and the 2nd half of the Via Francigena, neither for reasons of traditional Christianity nor for reasons often offered by serial walkers, but rather to place myself into novel, unfamiliar situations that have the tendency to break up established patterns of thought and behavior, and that may give rise to what I’ll call transcendental insights.

Hi. I'm a 36-year old vegan, outgoing, progressive, and clever. I'm currently in school finishing my bachelor's degree in psychology and preparing to apply to graduate school. While I'm in school I'm living on Long Island with family, but I'm really a city person. I'm friendly and dig being with people, and of course I love animals. In my down time I've been learning to sew. But I like going out and am up for anything.

Hey my name is Rob, Christian and vegan. I love animals and I also love Jesus. laughing is my favorite thing to do. My sense of humor is a bit crazy because I’ll pretty much laugh at anything. I went vegan fir my health at first but then I started doing research on animal cruelty. So I’m definitely vegan for the animais now too. My two biggest passions are Jesus and animals.

PnoMan is a 59 year old, spiritual male.
Living in New York, New-York Vegan diet.

Just moved to Manhattan from Boston. I have a balanced work/life with a good "corporate america" job. I am most passionate about learning and find much of what we take for granted so intriguing... Most recently I've become very concerned and conscious about what we are doing to our environment and seeing how I can change my own habits to better serve Mother Earth and make sure our children and their children have at least the same quality of planet we were given.

In general, though, I truly just live my life trying to do the right thing and following the 'do unto others' rule. Of course I've made mistakes, but who hasn't? But what I try to do is not make those same mistakes again. I also think I've reached a point of being able to put things into perspective... and I have to say it feels pretty good!

I'm passionate about music and the arts in general... I often go to Broadway shows... I love reading about anything mind-body related as well as how we all connect at a core level... I guess I lean toward the philosophy of a unified consciousness... I eat primarily a whole foods, plant based diet.

I like many different types of movies and shows (yes, even romance and drama)... The same with music: Broadway to pop to country to oldies... I walk as much as I can (for exercise)... I've been to Europe once (although I hit Iceland, London (of course, Stonehenge), Paris and Dublin)... In the US, my favorite place has to be Sedona. It is so beautiful with the red rocks... I have one sister; she is two years older, and we were a classic Linus and Lucy growing up.... I have two great daughters (living away)... I'm sure there's more but that should be a good start, right? A bit eclectic? Perhaps :-)

WoodSprite is a 34 year old, spiritualfemale.
Living in Queens, New-York Vegan diet.

I am very empathetic, loving, nurturing, loyal, creative, artistic, goofy, funny, playful and fun-loving. A typical Sagittarius with my inner child very much alive! I am free-spirited and very adventurous. I absolutely LOVE animals, Nature, hiking, traveling, and I want to explore the Earth in all her glory. I also love cuddling up and watching a movie after a good meal. I am vegan and enjoy cooking and baking (and fooling non-vegans with my homages to the classics I once loved!). I am an actress, singer and voiceover artist and a member of an up-and coming theatre company. I have narrated numerous audiobooks and play leads in a few cartoons. I am enjoying living in NYC right now as I build my career up here, but ultimately I aim to settle down somewhere in Nature. My dream is to have an eco friendly home on lots of property with hiking trails, a huge garden or greenhouse, dogs and maybe even some rescued farm animals! I escape the city as often as I can to get my regular dose of Pacha Mamma!

I am a spiritual person and am interested in Native American culture, animal Spirit Guides, Shamanism, animal communication, reincarnation, reiki, Buddhism, Hinduism, yoga and meditation. I am a trained Massage Therapist. I do not smoke cigarettes but I believe in the medicinal properties of sacred plants such as marijuana, mushrooms and ayahuasca. In moderation and with the right intention!

I believe thoughts are creative and want to be the change I wish to see in the world; I want to stay informed of the illusions of this modern day society- for knowledge is power- but always remain positive and keep hope alive that change is possible. I believe in taking action to help make the world a better place, and I do what I can to manifest good in the world. I want to save the planet! Haha and to have fun, sing, dance, and explore while I go about this beautiful journey called life.

Living in new york, New-York Vegan diet.

I'm absolutely unequivacally worth getting to know as I am unique in a good way. Integrity, honesty, compassionate are words that you can attach to me.
I'm always up for animal rights causes and I have an insatiable desire to acquire as much knowledge in this area. I light up at animal rights events and when I'm there I'm most definitely in my element. Hopefully I will put all this together and creatively come up with an installation that will have a meaningful positive impact and raise some peoples awareness in the area of animal advocacy.
Sensuality and having fun are to me essentials to nurture and embrace while travelling down the road we call life.
I am looking foward to meeting like minded folk of female persuasion who possess wit, charm and a zest for living that radiates outwards, something like sunlight dappling through green leaves of a forest and warming the earth with its brilliance.

Living in glen head, New-York Veggie/vegan diet.

I work with at risk students at a special education high school in Manhattan. It is richly rewarding. I also enjoy five star hotels in picturesque towns from Jackson Hole to Seattle. I like bicycles, kayaks, snorkeling and walking. I like historic places, farm stands and country roads. If you like the outdoors and don't mind five star hotels, maybe we can work together. I am spontaneous , not a grouch, energetic and handy with tools. I also spend time helping others and trying to make a difference in the world!

Hey There!

I have been Vegan for over 21 years now. I am a Vegan Chef so you'll never go hungry. I have done a lot of work on myself over the years and consider myself to be a highly-evolved male who has his masculine and feminine traits in balance. I have treated all my GF's like Queens, now I am looking for a woman who can not only accept my love and adoration but who can return it with ease.

Hoss is a 48 year old, Atheist male.
Living in Rochester, New-York Vegan diet.

My super-power is an imperviousness to summarization. It
makes writing personal ads a chore, but hey, nobody said being
a superhero would be easy.
Some constants: I most value empathy,
reason and fairness; love spirited discussion and inquiry; prefer cooperation to competition (not a sports fan, sorry); want to live a meaningful, purposeful life and learn as much as possible.
Bachelors in Cognitive Science, now working as an
IT geek: I herd absent-minded academics and wrestle with
dysfunctional computers for a living. Just like
that buff Crocodile Hunter guy who wrestled crocodiles for a
living — except without the crocodiles or the buffness. But I do
get to poke things with sticks.
Other random bits: I involuntarily speak to animals in motherese. Vegan for ethical reasons. Faithful, affectionate and supportive, and I expect the same from others. Liberal in attitude (and politics) but often a bit conservative in behavior. For some reason I've also become a magnet for injured animals. (Another super-power?)

Living in Nyack, New-York Vegetarian diet.

Hello. My name is Jonathan. I am an active man in my late forties who is currently vegetarian but wanting to become a vegan "if I have enough discipline". I have been in the human services field for most of my career. I enjoy reading, playing guitar, singing and songwriting, hiking/trekking, spending time with friends, traveling and drinking fruit smoothies. I consider myself an intelligent and curious person who leans more towards the liberal side. I believe strongly in human rights and animal rights and dislike any form of exploitation. I have been studying Tibetan Buddhism for many years and have become more spiritual. It is more of a philosophy for me. Although I believe strongly in helping others, I do believe in taking time out for oneself as well. I have spent some time traveling out West, visiting state and national parks - hiking and backpacking. I would love to travel internationally as well. On my to do bucket list is Costa Rica, Nepal and Bhutan, Thailand, Africa and New Zealand.

I look younger than my age and keep myself fit via regular exercise. Meditation helps me stay centered as well. My main true passion is music and guitar/songwriting/singing. I spend a good deal of time in these endeavors. I love all types of music except for country and rap and love to listen to and play folk, blues, rock, fusion etc. I would like to get more involved in animal rights activism and have taken some steps in order to do this. I can be very serious at times, yet extremely silly at others. I am pretty multifaceted and have many different interests including science, anthropology, human evolution, history and the list continues. I really never get bored because I always find interesting things to read about and do.

I became a vegan due to health reasons and as I explored more the lifestyle, it opened my eyes to the environmental and animal cruelty aspects of it. I consider myself as a caring, loving, passionate, thoughtful, open minded, sometimes stubborn... gentleman. I am a singer-songwriter. Music and the arts are one of my passions.

Living in williamson, New-York Vegan diet.

(Last name Bull. look for me on FB) Ive been a starch based vegan for 3 year now for health reasons. I created this because i just don't really know how to find other vegans near me but not really any on here either guess thats my luck. I haven't really dated much in these last three years because being vegan or willing to try is a must and lets face it there's not really many other people out there that care about living a healthy caring life, we live in a society of YOLO people who only care about self pleasures not humanity. I became vegan for health reasons, I come from a family of sick obese people and after 23 years of unhealthy living i had enough and 2 months into my life style change my dad dies at 52 of massive heart attack putting me into full throttle mode. And my dad was the most physically active people in my family weighing only 10lbs more then me at the time at 240lbs.

My interest are growing my own food, learning new thing, just being in nature, and helping others.

James is a 65 year old, spiritual male.
Living in Bronx, New-York Vegetarian diet.

I'm a vegetarian, musician, writer, technology professional and fitness instructor. I would say that I believe in One God.

I need to be with someone who has a vegetarian lifestyle. It's non-negotiable.

They should be someone who has their own interests and goals that they're actively seeking and not just talking about. No TV junkie.

When we spend time together, it's a sacrifice from our busy-ness and valued by the both of us so we won't ever take each other for granted.

I need to be with somebody who has a quick and witty mind; someone who shares and listens; someone I can learn from. It's a give and take.

Artist and professional? Salsera?

Living in brooklyn, New-York Veggie/vegan diet.

I'm drawn to the light and a dreamer of perfection. I try and celebrate the beauty of life daily and keep balanced mentally and physically by meditating doing a little yoga almost everyday.I also mix it up by taking a run, doing a dance class, hiking or going on a bike ride.I love exploring and connecting to nature as much as I love Brooklyn.You could find me laying on the beach or trying to remember my manners and do some small kindness towards others. I love to laugh, dance, splash & swim, hike a little, forage for both natural edibles or second hand treasures at yard sales or thrift shops.I also love to learn have tons of books I want to take a vacation just to read them all. I take classes learn new things as theres so much that fascinates me.I have sought after talents like being able to travel for a month with one small bag. most recently in Nepal studying sacred dance and where else Paradise Island in the Bahamas. I invent and accept my life as it unfolds and have appeared as a visual artist, dancer, day trader, real estate developer, business/sales consultant, business owner and yoga teacher.I believe in being happy & having fun and that you create your own reality and relationships. Your drawn to people whom reflect what you need to look at. I hope your working towards self awareness & being present.

Willing to touch noses on the first date...

Dan is a 72 year old, spiritual male.
Living in Carmel, New-York Vegan diet.

Vegan since 1996, after doing my first marathon and realizing something had to change. I switched for health reasons, and still am serious about maintaining health and mobility to the end of a long life. However, I also identified with the concern for ethical treatment of all animals and beings, as well as the health of the planet. I enjoy gardening and landscaping to create beauty and food for people and wildlife. I am currently selling the 3.5 acre country home that my X and I lived in for the past 19 years because the house is too large and I need to get past the memories, but I look forward to creating a similar environment elsewhere. We had enough blueberries, mulberries, and other fruit and seed bearing plants for the birds and animals while still have some left for ourselves and friends.

My “X” and I have one son, who is married and has our 2 grandchildren (4 and 9 years old in August 2017). They all live in central Pennsylvania where I visit frequently. We are all one happy family in that setting, and when I meet someone to share experiences with, she could easily fit-in too. While I love being with our son and his family, I dislike all the fracking and nuke plants that Pennsylvania has. Thus, I am also considering developing a modest “get-away” off the grid country cabin in north-central Massachusetts where I grew up and still have some property.

I believe that a body in motion stays in motion, and thus enjoy training and competing in triathlons. While I try to be competitive as an “age grouper”, sometimes, being over 70, just “showing –up” gets a trophy. I have done many half ironman length events and plan to do more occasionally, but for the most part, Sprints & Olympic distance satisfies me.

I am concerned with all the problems that “the boomers” have created with pollution, climate change, out-of-control military industrial complex, medical, banking, insurance, prison, and national political institutions, and am interested in hearing of, and to some extent, supporting the many efforts to turn things around for the better. I admire the people who are working relentlessly to make things better for all beings.

I consider myself spiritual but not religious. I enjoy just being “in nature” walking in the woods, canoeing on a stream, or cycling on a back road. I enjoy solitude, but also consider having someone to share experiences and passion with is very important and very much desired.

I love the sun, but dislike the heat. I've got a masters in architecture and a bachelors in art. I love walking and would like to see a shadow next to my own. I've been veganish for over 3 years now.

I travel whenever I can, and have been everywhere from Europe (Italy, my favorite, three times) to Thailand. I've zip-lined with monkeys in Costa Rica, tubed from spring to spring in the Florida woods, and been white water rafting around Mendenhall glacier in Alaska. I never turn down travel plans if it's in the realm of possibility.

I’m employed as a massage therapist and yoga teacher. If you turn out to be the one I’m looking for, you can definitely count on me to provide soothing relief when you’ve had a bad day, and delightful touches when you’re on track. ;)

Terry is a 85 year old, Agnostic / not religious male.
Living in Rhinebeck, New-York Vegan diet.

I'm a vegetarian for both ethical and health reasons. I have a mixed-breed dog I adopted from a shelter. I live 90 miles up the Hudson River from New York City. I'm semi-retired after working for many years as a radio and television newswriter-editor-producer. I'm now writing freelance newsletter articles and volunteering at a shelter for farm animals. I enjoy playing with my dog, hiking, canoeing, swimming, nature-watching, reading, some movies, classical music, jazz, the blues, some folk music, NPR, lakes, rivers, oceans, mountains and valleys. I'm a liberal who opposed the invasion and occupation of Iraq. I'm thinking about relocating, perhaps to the west coast of Florida (although I'm open to other possibilities).

I'm a youthfully aging riot girl looking for a friend for the End of the World. Extremely left wing, open minded, and a bit nerdy. I'm interested in books, art exhibitions, comedy, podcasts, film, and weird performances. I hope you're interested in those things too. I'm a long time political activist who can't abide bigotry of any kind. I practice yoga more casually than I should and enjoy working out hard. I am fat but fit. I'm an eccentric artistic type, so I tend to get along with other outliers and weirdos.

Gary is a 61 year old, Agnostic / not religious male.
Living in Kingston, New-York Vegetarian diet.

Shy, friendly guy who likes the outdoors. I am outside as much as possible. Although retired from my old day job (government work), I am hard working at the things I now have time for. I make maple syrup, wine, and do light construction work. I like working with my hands, but also use my head. Dependable. Part time musician. Like to vacation seaside. I'm not into TV, but like old movies and PBS. Could spend all day in most museums. Don't get out to many movies because I hate to go alone. WARNING: I drink wine and eat fish. They don't have the term for that in the drop down. (No, it's not wino, but pescetarian) I was vegan for a time, but I'm not as strict as I once was. Looking for the right fit and willing to invest time and energy in the right relationship.

My listing here is unpaid. I can respond to your emails but cannot initiate new emails. This is because I had so few matches near me that I did not renew my subscription after the initial membership period. But I do check the site often and am notified of matches by VeggieDate.

I am dedicated to living with compassion toward all living beings and the earth. I feel more at home in nature than a big city but enjoy the cultural and artistic opportunities of the city.

Living in westchester, New-York Veggie/vegan diet.

i am very athletic- i enjoy hiking, biking, swimming, weightlifting, etc. i also enjoy reading good books, travel, going to shows, spending quiet evenings with close friends, and other such things. i have been vegan for 14 years for health, environmental, and ethical reasons. i did recently switch to being lacto vegetarian for health reasons (all organic and eco-friendly) but am making my way back to being vegan once again! i am big on thinking and being aware and i expect people i am with to do the same. i dabble in art, music, and writing. i love animals- i have owned a number of rescued cats and plan to adopt another one as soon as its feasible. i am constantly trying to better myself and grow as a person. i have had my fair share of ups and downs. i have worked as a nutritionist, personal trainer, babysitter, pet sitter, and now am going to law school to do some real good in the world. i want to make the world a better place.. perhaps a bit idealistic of me, but that is who i am..

Living in East Meadow, New-York Vegetarian diet.

I enjoy the outdoors, love animals, especially cats. Reading books and listening to music are two of my faves. Oops, also movies. I am not interested in the cyber world, computers, cell phones etc. Amazing though they may be......I'll tell you later!

jessetr is a 49 year old, Jewish male.
Living in Brooklyn, New-York Almost veg diet.

SWJ male, 5'6". No children, not looking to raise any children. I'm a professional talk-therapist, and I'm looking for someone who wants a commitment to long-term or marriage.

You must love dogs. And I am, guaranteed, allergic to your cat.

I am in awe of entrepreneurs but I'm more laid back so type-A personalities and me generally don't mesh.

Basic punctuation, spelling, and grammar go a long way with me. This trend I've seen lately of not using periods? Crazy!

In the end, I just want someone I can talk to and laugh with.

Sunshine is a 49 year old, spiritualfemale.
Living in new york, New-York Vegan diet.

If you are interested in an involved relationship with an exotic beauty who is very open minded with a fun and friendly personality, then keep reading. I am of mixed race with a 5’6” athletic build. Born + raised in the UK. I've lived in Manhattan for over 15 years. I enjoy the diversity of city life, but also have a passion for the ocean and outdoor activities. I am an athletic individual who enjoys taking part in most types of physical activities especially if it involves being out doors or are on or near the ocean. I care very little for watching t.v. but I do like either going to or watching films + documentaries and listening to news radio. I love living in the city however as my life style leans towards being very holistic, I am continually finding a balance between the two, it can be done: )I am no earth moma – nope, I like my high heals and fun sexy clothes! I have traveled extensively for work + pleasure, and lived in different countries, so I am open to alternative locations hopefully with some sun and close to water.

Bill is a 41 year old, Agnostic / not religious male.
Living in Broad Channel, New-York Vegan diet.

Vegan math teacher. I enjoy running and yoga. I listen to black metal and noise (I try to make noise with a calculator). Politically far to the left. I'm shy at first, but open up when I get to know someone.

VegGator is a 34 year old, Jewishfemale.
Living in Brooklyn, New-York Vegan diet.

I try to live my life and make choices based on my values - equal compassion and respect for all life. Because of that I'm vegan, an environmentalist, a health nut, anti-consumption, an animal rights activist, and trying to be minimalist (the hardest for me). I try my best to live a life that results in more good than harm, always thinking about my impact on other people in the world, animals, and the planet.

Scott is a 40 year old, Atheist male.
Living in Rock Hill, New-York Vegan diet.

I've been vegan for four years. I'm a Marine Corps veteran with degrees in nutrition and literature. I consider myself to be a sapiosexual, but I also enjoy a lot of low-brow comedy and art. I sing for a punk rock band and I play bass as well. I'm a bit of a book and movie nerd. I love movies from France and Hong Kong, and I'm currently on a sci-fi lit kick, with Heinlein and Philip K. Dick dominating my kindle. I love to cook, and I plan to write a cookbook one day. I enjoy opera, theater, museums, orchestras, and all that civilization has to offer, but I also like dive bars, karaoke, camping, the outdoors and nature. I lift weights, practice yoga and have trained in a variety of martial arts. I've lived all over the US, primarily on the East Coast, but I just moved back to NY after a year in Texas. I also spent 3 years stationed in Okinawa, Japan. I love learning about different cultures and their history, but I also love road trips across the U.S. I've been to 37 of 50 states, and I plan to hit all 50 before I'm 50.

My friends say I'm a multifaceted and motivating person, and they admire me for my tenacity and drive. I recently changed careers and am starting a new job as a registered dietitian after spending the last 3 years completing an intense 2 years of undergrad to earn a second bachelor's degree and then completing a 1600-hour internship while also working on a Master of Science degree in nutrition and passing an intense exam.

I'm not really into team sports and I could live without the NFL, MLB or NBA, but I do enjoy staying active, whether that's lifting weights, doing yoga, training in Krav Maga, hiking, camping, walks with my dog or anything else outdoors.

I could rattle off a lot more factoids about myself, but you really have to get to know me to understand my passions, my drive, and my sense of humor.

Robert is a 33 year old, Agnostic / not religious bi-male.
Living in East Syracuse, New-York Veggie/vegan diet.

My vegetarian status is slowly moving toward vegan. For me this is more of a life style conversion that will take a while. I am a professional scientist and love learning new things. I am also an ambassador glass flame worker and an avid cyclist. I also enjoy swimming and running.

I'm handsome and funny-looking, highly intelligent and incredibly stupid, self-aware and in denial, an engaging personality and a morbid recluse, politically progressive and a born conservative. In other words, an average guy hoping to find a sympathetic soul.

Ginger5834 is a 50 year old, spiritualfemale.
Living in Long Island, New-York Vegetarian diet.

I am a curvy, outspoken, sassy gal. I've lived on Long Island for over 10 years now. I've always been a hard worker and am very proud of where I am in my career. I am an extremely loyal person and have quite a few friends that I've known for 10+ years. I come from a big family and am close with many members. But there's always room in my life for a special someone.

I love music. I like listening to it and talking about it. Lately, you will find me listening to Coldplay, Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters, A Perfect Circle, Tool but I also like to listen to traditional Irish music and the Soundscapes channel when I am in an "instrumental" mood. I like to drive and love a road trip upstate or to the Poconos in the Summer or to see the leaves change in the Fall. I do like to sing and am not afraid of a karaoke mike.

I am also very interested in my Irish heritage and recenlty started researching my ancestry.
